Re: Finally...
Car looks fantatstic. I know it could not have been an easy feat to marry the nose-tail combo. Congratulations to you and its owner. My only other observation is that somebody forgot to dust the opening of the nose.

Re: Finally...
ok..so how many of Fran's posts get a response of "stunning or awesome"????

And I can't figure out why......

Ok Fran,,, I guess I need to rob more than one bank now...because how can a mortal person choose only one or two of your cars???

Keep up the great work!!!!

Shouldn't that number be sevenTY and not sevenTEEN? Having issues with accents Fran?

Look awesome though, and I agree- more pics from all around (maybe even outside with sunshine if it's above freezing yet).

Re: Finally...
The technical term for this display boys, and I do this professionally mind you, is wow. Unbelievable would be patently untrue as we all have had some idea of the deep talent pool residing just off Groesbeck Hwy north of Detroit for quite some time now.

Friggin awesome.

Question, Fran: How much of this project was accomplished in house? What part of the final assembly and finish was done by your remarkable outside partners?

Best,

T.

Re: Finally...
This whole project was done in house.....by ALL of us,
It took three different bodies fused together to get the shape and many many custom parts t accomplish the look.

I will post side shots etc etc tomorrow...this car has black wheels and looks sinister as hell....I love it...the customer has since ,made a request for shiny silver/chrome wheels...... once he sees the general concensus of opinion for the look of the car,he may change his mind...(I hope)

You definitely need to take a picture of your crew next to one of your cas and post it. They deserve a lot of credit (and you too, of course)
